You mean the LX8 pic? That animation has been there for ages.
It still has the old FOX interiors, go figure.

Quote from Termi :Thats so sad, pay for a Skindownload...

Quote from trebor901 :I think charging for hi res skins is stupid and people will say "oh but its only £1". So what maybe people like me dont have the resources to pay for it so us people who arent prepared have to use the crap skins

What's the problem? If you don't want to pay for it, or can't...then don't. It's not like you can't download the lower res skins anymore just like you could before. Getting worked up about an OPTIONAL feature, somehow I expected these kind of comments.
It was made clear WHY charging for it is necessary, and that nothing will change for the worse if you decide not to use this OPTION.

Whiners.

Quote from trebor901 :So.... but if you have a good graphics card that runs this GAME well then you cant get the most from it

Money for a good graphic card but no money for the highres skin option...right.

Quote from Scawen :Yes. I hope there was a visible message down at the bottom left which said it was converting skins, and gave you a time estimate of 1 or 2 minutes.

There was a message for me. Although it took quite some time for me and LFS seemed to hang. I decided to alt-tab out of it, and it instantly went to the main menu screen. (Like it was already finished converting the skins, but didn't progress to the main menu by itself) Could have been a coincidence though
Some great improvements yet again, a lot of people will be happy with the high-res skin option I think

This is how I see it, you may not, if that's the case, don't bother posting.

So basically you post an improvement suggestion, but you only want people that agree with you to post. I see.

As if I see a word in your sentance flaming me, I'll simply ignore your comment.

Oh noes!

Note: If you don't have anything good to say, don't post.

That's the way I see it.

This is a public discussion forum, anyone can say anything they want, within the rules of the forum. That's the way I see it. I'll write this down in bold red letters so it seems more important...

About your suggestion, the devs can't just put a car in the game without having to pay for licensing costs. Secondly, LFS isn't FnF.

Plus, there's only road cars in the demo.

Quote from ZORER :I don't think there is a "best" renderer. Most of them really do good. If you are experienced enough you'd get good images in mental ray or vray or final render and even in scanline (max)...It's a choice of yours.
Besides, mental ray has an ability to divide one rendering job to many nodes and there are some hardware renderers available in the market.
Vray is better in gi (imo) and final render does self illuminated objects in a better way...
I haven't tried other renderers but what i can suggest is; Quality of the scene/object/scene setup is much more important than the renderer you use.So paying more attention while building the scene is the thing that should be done.

definitely, I completely agree The creator is much more important than the tool he uses.

Quote from BlackEye :Here's my first made scene and I have some problems (also not all materials are finished). It's really more ingame looking shot then a realistic render, but these 2 'bugs' pisses me off atm.

I'm using LightWave 8.0. You can see in the picture on the hood near windshield there's some strange shadow and on the bumper there's noisy looking shadow.

What do you think what causes this problem?


On the bumper it seems to have the wrong material applied. It should contain a material or texture for the numberplate, yet it´s using the skin texture.

Concerning the area near the windshield, that is a smoothing problem. I can´t tell you how to correct it as I don´t use Lightwave.

First of all, good job on the track guide, looks very promising

Quote from Gentlefoot :What is FLV format?

It's the same format as used on a lot of video sites like youtube and google.

Quote :
Not sure I can add those into my website builder program - certainly no FLV format in the list.

Sure you can add them, but maybe you have to do it by hand if your editor doesn't have any predefined stuff for it.

What would be most convenient and simple (I think) is to upload your videos to youtube for example, and there will be a piece of code right on the page you can use to embed it in your page. It will save you the bandwith as well

example:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YAUwOwowKBA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YAUwOwowKBA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

you can find this on this page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAUwOwowKBA (see the embed code in the box on the right of the video)

Quote :
Think it might be the tagging that FF doesn't like. Gonna check the HTML with that validator tool.

the <embed> tag isn't part of html specifications, it's code that only IE understands. The correct way is to work with <object> tags.

Quote from baz_doc :cheers guys i know its not my firewalls etc as my bro sells computers for a living and he looked at it for me and said everything is ok. If it is sayin i have used up all my unlocks what can i do? and does anyone even have the email address for LFS? cheers for all the help sorry if any1 was offended by the above comments

Well, you get new unlocks every friday, but you might get one sooner if you email the devs and make clear you're having problems connecting. They might have some suggestions for you to check out.

But try what Sinbad said, that's a good suggestion.

If you want to email the devs you can use this form: http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=mailus

Quote from Drifteris LTU :oh yes its possible !!!!!!!

*sigh*
How would you know if it's possible to do it AND make it look good, if you haven't succeeded yourself?

IMO it can NEVER look GOOD.

If you know so well, please do it yourself or keep on waiting for someone else to do it (unlikely), but quit telling people what to do.

Quote from Elderado :the FOX cockpit (head rest area seems a little off) any idea why???

Well spotted. Although it's just the way the previous fox model was. The FOX got a couple of small updates in patch T, making the head rest are much better and less flat. So, nothing that C407 can do about it. Well. apart from using the newer cmx ofcourse

Do you mean pictures of actual waving flags or just the colour schemes?

In case of the latter there's plenty to find, like this:

Quote from whitford :if you read i said i had the same problem because it was my internet provider tiscali they dont like lfs becausee the upload bandwith

I did read that. However my post wasn't directed at you but at the TS. In your case it may have been the provider, but we don't know if that's the problem in his case as well, so I don't really get what you're trying to say.

Quote from baz_doc :cheers for r help so far, i have paid for a licence and every time i try to unlock it it tells me ive used my week alowance i havent even unlocked it yet!!!!!!!! Is there any1 we can phone about LFS??? i pay my money and get this not a happy chap

It surely must be something on your end, because other people succeed in unlocking it. Did you try anything that was suggested? Noone can't help you if they can't narrow down the possible causes.

Quote from HYUNDAI :ok ok

Resizing your skin doesn't do any good for the quality. If the original is jaggy and low quality it will only get worse. You've got to use/make higher quality decals. Also, start out at a bigger size (2048*2048 preferably).

And it's not even about revenge.

Quote from phoretwenny :
he rammed me, so I ambsushed that bastard

That IS taking revenge.
Even if you've been done wrong by another player, if you're going for this kind of approach you're no better than him. This behaviour only leads to more trouble, like being banned. Plus other players could eventually be involved while they have nothing to do with it. Be the wise one and report him to the admin/wrecker barricade next time.

Quote from phoretwenny :Yeah man ^

And I got banned for crashing. I accidently crashed this dude, then next race, he rammed me, so I ambsushed that bastard. Turns out he was important or someshite, haha.

how mature. maybe it's best you stick to those few servers.

Have you checked your firewall settings? Maybe it's blocking LFS for some reason.
Do you use hibernate on your PC?
When you do succeed in unlocking, do you ever lock it again manually yourself?
New unlocks are given every friday to a total maximum of 2 unlocks at a time. So what happened since last friday? You must have been able to unlock it since then.
Have you changed anything on your PC lately (like hardware upgrades)?
Have you searched for other topics about the same problem?

I don't see how more money would result in faster development.
